Charl was invited and visited Wei and Jiangtao, to former FRG group members, in Xi’an. A minisymposium was organised, with both of them, and a colleague, speaking as well! It was a great morning of exciting science!

We had the pleasure of hosting our annual Timms Symposium, with a line-up of outstanding speakers! Prof Takuzo Aida spent some time with the Faul Research Group on Tuesday, before giving an outstanding lecture as the named Timms Lecturer on Wednesday afternoon!

Faul Research Group

We are a multi-disciplinary materials chemistry research group, exploring the design principles and applications of novel functional materials.

There is a strong focus on the design, synthesis and application of a range of electroactive aniline-based oligomers and related porous conjugated materials for energy related applications. Ionic self-assembly and the production of functional hierarchical supramolecular materials are further areas of interest. An emerging activity relates to novel soft functional devices (including actuators and 3D-printed devices).
